I'm currently a student at Barnard College at Columbia University studying Political Science and Human Rights. I'm interested in public interest/NGO work and hope to pursue a career in policy one day.
But for now, I'm an avid podcast listener & Mad Men enthusiast, that spends most of her time consuming double shot almond milk lattes (in case you were wondering) and studying in the library.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I'm a California native (I grew up in the Bay Area) I never had the chance to take a road trip and explore all the wonderful places around California. I'm hoping to take a road trip starting around Yosemite and ending in San Diego with two or three of my friends this summer (May 16-23rd). In order to experience true Californian rawness, staying with locals would provide a great opportunity to bond with new people, learn about their own lives, and get some great travel/food recommendations.
